Women who feel self conscious about the appearance of their breasts may be interested to hear that Botox treatment could provide a solution.

Unveiled by a Thai dermatologist at the World Conference of Cosmetic and Anti-ageing Medicine in Monte Carlo, the procedure offers instant results with no recovery time, the Daily Mail reports.

Now available to patients in the UK, the injection is said to tone and lift the skin on the breasts – making them appear firmer and younger.

The treatment may be more appealing to some women than surgical procedures, which can require long periods of recovery time.

Anti-ageing specialist Dr Cecilia Tregear from London's Wimpole Skin Care Centre said: "It shapes the breasts, giving them volume and ironing out wrinkles caused by sun damage on the decolletage."

Botox treatment has emerged as a useful tool used by specialists for a number of cosmetic and medical problems.

UK practitioners have recently been awarded a licence to administer the injection to people suffering from chronic migraines.

People who are worried about needing emergency dentistry should increase their consumption of dairy products, according to new research.

A study, published in the American Journal of Peridontology, revealed that eating foods that are rich in calcium could limit the risk of developing tooth decay, the Daily Mail reports.

Conducted by scientists at the Oral Biology Department at New York State University, the research established a link between the low intake of dairy products and oral health issues.

People who want to ensure their teeth are full of strength should consume regular helpings of milk, cheese and yogurt, as well as leafy vegetables and baked beans, experts have advised.

Spokeswoman for the British Dental Association Jacinta Yeo noted that the development of gum disease can be attributed to a number of alternative factors.

She said: "Calcium is important for strengthening the actual building blocks, but you still have to floss your teeth every day and brush regularly."

WebMD recommends that people consume nuts, milk and a variety of meats to enrich the teeth with beneficial calcium.

Jane Fonda has admitted spending several thousand dollars on cosmetic dentistry as part of her bid to preserve her good looks.

The 73-year-old actress said in an interview with the Daily Mail that she paid $55,000 (£34,100) for a new set of teeth.

Fonda, who has won two Oscars during her screen career, suggested that having money is one of the secrets to looking good in old age.

"It was the teeth or a new car – and I opted for the teeth," she remarked, adding: "It costs a lot to look the way I do."

A healthy sex life has also helped, she remarked, but noted part of success is due to her genes, which she said "cost nothing".

Fonda recently showed off her cosmetic dentistry during the Cannes Film Festival, where she made an appearance to promote her new film Peace, Love & Misunderstanding, which is due out later this year.

People contemplating getting Botox treatment have been warned to seek advice from a qualified professional.

A recent documentary revealed that a number of American doctors have purchased fake onabottulinumtoxinA, which could result in dangerous consequences for patients.

Reported on the Dr Oz show, experts estimated that around 20 per cent of Botox on the market is counterfeit, which highlights the importance of visiting a registered practitioner.

Prospective patients have been urged to ensure the treatment is performed in a professional medical environment to ensure their safety in the event of an emergency.

Experts have also advised people contemplating Botox to check the credentials of the practitioner in order to make sure they are appropriately qualified.

This comes after news that a number of British establishments offering Botox to customers had failed to adequately train their staff, the Daily Mail reports.

The Healtcare Advisory Service revealed that in some cases, administrators were permitted to perform the treatment after receiving less than half a day's training.

People hosting Botox parties with friends are more likely to be receiving treatment from an unqualified practitioner, an expert has claimed.

Consumers could be put at risk when receiving at-home treatments due to unhygienic conditions and possible untrained specialists, claims the Independent Healthcare Advisory Service's Sally Taber.

People considering undergoing Botox treatment should consider their own safety when selecting an institution or practitioner to perform the treatment, Ms Taber reports in the Sun.

Consumers have been advised to be wary of the increased number of beauty consultants calling themselves advanced aesthetic practitioners in a bid to appear professionally qualified to perform the procedure.

Ms Taber told the newspaper: "A practitioner must not only demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge of facial anatomy and best clinical practice but also the ability to manage complications such as swelling or an allergic reaction."

This news comes after a number of medical firms were found to be allowing staff to perform Botox treatment on customers after just half a day of training on an orange, the Daily Mail reports

Presenter Richard Hammond's smooth complexion could be due to Botox, reports have suggested.

The 41-year-old Top Gear presenter was photographed looking youthful at an awards ceremony in London.

Hammond, who is the father of two children, appeared to have very few lines around his eyes – which has led the Daily Mail to suggest he has opted for the non-surgical procedure.

Dr Roberto Viel from the London Centre for Aesthetic Surgery commented that the bags under Hammond's eyes appear significantly reduced when compared to old pictures.

He said: "I would also say that the wrinkles around the eyes have lessened, indicating he could have also had Botox to smooth out crow's feet."

A number of other celebrity men have admitted to undergoing Botox treatments, including Simon Cowell and John Barrowman.

Cowell reportedly thinks so highly of the treatment that he purchased Botox gift vouchers for his fellow X Factor judges at Christmas last year.

Actress Courteney Cox could have Botox to thank for her youthful looks, reports have suggested.

The 46-year-old actress has previously admitted to undergoing the non-surgical procedure, but looked younger than ever during a recent public appearance.

Heat magazine has suggested that Cox could have had treatment more recently than her original 2008 admission.

Revealing she had undergone the procedure, the Cougar Town actress said she had used it sparingly to maintain her smooth skin.

She told the magazine: "Ageing gracefully is one thing but trying to slow it down is another – yes sometimes I use Botox but compared to most, I use it very sparingly."

Many celebrities seem to be admitting to trying out the procedure as a means to look younger and increase confidence.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, supermodel Cindy Crawford revealed she would not have cosmetic surgery but that she had visited a London clinic for Botox treatment.

Invisalign braces have been praised by one writer, who recently completed her treatment with them.

The unnamed Daily Mail journalist said she was unhappy with her misalign smile by her mid-twenties, something which had come about as a result of her wisdom teeth crowding her mouth.

After hearing stars such as Katherine Heigl and Cheryl Cole mention Invisalign braces, she decided to try them herself and said she has been surprised and delighted with the results.

The writer had 12 aligners made to fit her mouth, changing them every two weeks to gently push her teeth into a new position. Although she admitted that she did find them uncomfortable at first, the source said this soon passed and she did not notice them after a while.

"Six months on and at the end of the last brace … I am thrilled with the results. My teeth are completely straight and I finally have the smile I always dreamed of," the journalist concluded.

Myleene Klass is another celebrity who recently revealed she has had Invisalign braces, although she has now finished her treatment.
 

Parents who try to give their children healthy snacks could unwittingly be leading to a need for emergency dentistry, it has been said.

Dr Noushin Attari and Dr John Roberts, writing for the Sun, warned that foods such as raisins and dried apricots have a high concentration of sugar that will stick to the teeth of little ones.

Even though these are natural sugars, they are no less damaging for the mouth of a child.

"Try to stick to savoury snacks such as cheese, which neutralises acid in the mouth. Other recommended foods include fresh fruit, rice cakes and savoury sandwiches," the dentists commented.

When it comes to brushing, it was suggested that parents could use a reward chart if their youngsters are reluctant to do it twice a day every day.

Earlier this week, Dr Manrina Rhode also recommended cheese, as well as celery and cucumber, in an article for the Daily Mail about keeping teeth clean.
 

Always using a straw when drinking alcohol could help to prevent emergency dentistry.

This is according to Dr Manrina Rhode, who was writing in response to a reader query in the Daily Mail.

The correspondent asked if a nightly gin and tonic could damage her teeth, to which the expert said yes.

"Alcohol contains high levels of sugar so it is not advisable to drink every night. As with other fizzy or fruit-based drinks, you should ideally drink it through a straw," she commented.

Dr Rhode explained that the straw will help to prevent acids from touching the teeth too much, making it less likely that the enamel will become softened.

Anyone who wants to snack without damaging their smile could try celery, cheese and cucumber, she added, as these are 'detergent foods' that clean the teeth as they are chewed.

Last month, OneIndia said that eating strawberries and lettuce could help with teeth whitening.
